Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…

Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.

In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

The scientific research focuses on but not limited to

  • Mapping between the crystal structures and magnetic properties of Fe-based compounds
  • Developing a theoretical framework combining DFT+DMFT and atomistic simulations
  • Evaluation of the thermodynamic and spectroscopic properties 

We are looking for excellent candidates fulfilling the following requirements:

  • PhD/Master degree in Physics, Material Science, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Practical experience on DFT calculations and many-body physics is a plus
  • Solid experience on coding using at least one of Python, C/C++, and Fortran
  • Strong capability for independent problem solving and troubleshooting
  • Self-motivated, goal-oriented personality with good interpersonal skills supporting the team-work in an international, interdisciplinary environment
